[Note: FreedomWorks has also endorsed the Senate companion bill by Marco Rubio, HERE]

As one of our millions of FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative today and urge him or her to support H.R. 3541, the “ObamaCare Taxpayer Bailout Prevention Act”. Sponsored by Congressman Tim Griffin (R-AR), this bill would simply eliminate the section of ObamaCare that provides for taxpayer bailouts of health insurance companies.

This simple, one-line bill would eliminate Section 1342 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), which is the section that provides for “risk corridors” for health insurers. These risk corridors are basically a safety net – to make up some of the difference if health insurers lose money under ObamaCare.

Of course, with the recent catastrophic failures in ObamaCare’s online insurance exchanges, it is now all but certain that insurance companies will not sign up enough young and healthy people to offset the cost of the expanded coverage that all plans are now forced to provide.

The complex problems that ObamaCare is causing in the insurance industry are the inevitable result of central planning. No government agency or team of highly-skilled technocrats can know all of the ins and outs of a health care system that currently accounts for a sixth of our entire economy. But the solution to this government intervention is to get rid of ObamaCare, not to bail out the insurance companies – many of which actively lobbied on behalf of the law because of its promise to increase their customer base.

I urge you to contact your representative today and urge him or her to support H.R. 3541, the “ObamaCare Taxpayer Bailout Prevention Act”, to stop taxpayers from being on the hook for tens of billions more dollars to the insurance companies.

ObamaCare was supposed to reduce the cost of insurance, hence the Affordable Care Act. But is this really what it did? States with less regulations before the law was enacted had more affordable health care costs. Take, for example, North Carolina and Nevada. They saw individual premiums for people in their twenties rise over 150 percent after the law was enacted.

Whew, it’s been a tough week. Looking back on the last five years and all the harm ObamaCare has done to this country is a real downer. In order to head into the weekend on a slightly lighter note, let’s conclude our series with a little frivolity, the five best quotes about ObamaCare.

And the week-long spotlight on ObamaCare’s fifth anniversary keeps rolling right along! Passing the ACA was no easy feat, and Democrats had to make all sorts of outlandish promises to voters and politicians alike in order to advance the president’s government takeover of health care.

One of the features of any big government program is the inevitable catering to special interests, and exemptions for well-connected parties. ObamaCare is more egregious in this regard than most laws. As the week-long mourning of ObamaCare’s five year anniversary continues, here are the five dimensions of ObamaCare’s cronyism in action.

Rarely has such a major piece of legislation as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) been passed in such an overwhelming partisan way. Without garnering a single Republican vote, ObamaCare was rammed down the throats of the American people, even though a majority opposed - and continue to oppose - the law.

Monday marks the fifth anniversary of the Affordable Care Act - AKA ObamaCare - being signed into law. Since that fateful day, Americans have been faced with fewer health care choices, higher prices, and burdensome mandates that have made an already tangled health care bureaucracy exponentially worse.

A good law needs to be clear, concise and open to debate throughout the entire lawmaking process; ObamaCare had none of these things. Since public opinion was opposed to ObamaCare from the start, the law was forced through Congress with no time to debate. Now, it appears to be up to the courts and executive orders to try to fix the many problems with the bill.

It is difficult to predict how the Supreme Court will rule in any case it takes up, even after oral arguments; King v. Burwell is no different. It is probably safe to assume that Justices Scalia, Alito and Thomas will rule for the petitioner (King) and that Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayer and Kagan will rule for respondent (Burwell), but it is difficult to judge which way Chief Justice Roberts or Justice Kennedy will rule. This being said, oral arguments still brought some interesting insight from the Court.

While the Supreme Court is considering the King v. Burwell case about the IRS illegally funding a part of ObamaCare (the subsidies), last week it was revealed that the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has… illegally funded another part of ObamaCare.

Another interview has surfaced in which Jonathan Gruber, the MIT economist whose bragged about being involved in writing ObamaCare, suggested that subsidies will not be available to consumers in states that don't set up health insurance exchanges under the so-called "Affordable Care Act."
